Wrenn Cleary

AmeriCorps Monitoring Coordinator

Wrenn comes to SYRCL from Virginia, where she received her bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. She enjoyed spending time in the Shenandoah National Park hiking and learning about the watershed, which inspired her to pursue a career in the water field. Her thesis focused on the effects of a small-scale dam removal project. After graduating, she worked in both Arkansas and Greece, but is now excited to explore the Sierra and spend as much time as possible in the river. In her off time, she enjoys backpacking and is looking forward to figuring out how to ski.

Jessica Haro

Executive Assistant

Born and raised in a small town in northern Germany, Jessica was ingrained with strong, environmental values by her mother, a staunch Green Party member. Jessica‘s grandparents owned a the tree nursery and she grew up playing and hanging out and in her favorite beech and birch. When she wasn’t roaming around in the forests or fields with her friends, she enjoyed planting with her grandmother and mother, who knew all of the Latin names of the plants .

Her father, a Mexican American “Chicano from LA“ taught her that people are all very different and the importance of embracing those differences. At the age of 20, Jessica decided to explore the world, learn English well, and move to San Francisco. There she worked in the medical tech industry as a CEO assistant and a project manager before she relocated to Grass Valley five years ago. Helping to preserve the natural environment of the Yuba River is a privilege to Jessica. She holds a BA in International Relations from San Francisco State University.
